    Ironically, she'd the actual appointed paediatric phlebotomist (aka "children's blood taker") - that's all she does, day in day out! :eek: Which is why it'd be awkward to get someone else, and I know we'll end up on the ward waiting hours for a doctor (done it before), but I'd rather that than her butcher three veins a time!


    ETA: Sami, am waiting til I've calmed down. Will phone OH later (won't be back in his office til half three now) and then see about phoning our nurse. Sorry I came in all guns blazing just after you'd told us about Ed's scan.. Boohiss to your sarky doctor as well! :(
    no probs lovely room for us all here ;)

    :mad: for sami and elle - doctors and nurses both suck today :(

    I was three hours on a mission to find the bl00dy customs and excise office and then get back from it. The industrial estate they're on is miles out in the middle of nowhere, and half of it is closed off anyway. AND Google Maps has the street names all wrong, so I wandered pathetically for over an hour in snow up past my knees (and because it's not residential they don't have to shovel the pavements) and eventually found it. And then there's only two buses an hour back to the train.

    Still, I have my stuff and I made the happy-birthday phonecall to my mother. It was incredibly awkward and I really don't see why she's angry with me - I wasn't the one who tried to throw her out of my house and I didn't put my dog's safety over her child's...

    I am a one cheek kinda gal! Too much potential for bumping of noses etc in a 2 kiss situation (and I am a clumsy oaf!!)

    If you go in for two I am gonna pucker up and plant one on your chops :D

    was trying to work out if it was better that i work full time or part time.

    then i kept making mistakes with the money. but it doesnt seem to matter what hours i put in it was the salaries and childcare. mad to think that its better finacially for us to put kian in childcare than have a friend/relation look after him. even looked at if i gave up work and omg theres no way we could even consider that option!!

    need to change some direct debits though cos when they go out on the 1st of month it leave sus with hardly any cash till credits/child benefit gets paid.

    are you all ready for tomorrow??

    me and philip have agreed to both find a new job full or part time so i cant quit my sh!tty job that i really dont wanna go back to ..

    just about got jaydens outfit ready, mine sort of (ive been in my house clothes for so long im forgetting out to dress for te outside world :rotfl:) .. have a bath and do my hair later and then i just have to get up and make bottles :D ..

    elle :mad::( at the crap nurse i swear i wonder why people are in the job if they cant do it properly ((hugs)) to rhysy and a :coffee: and biccie for mummy ..

    i never know whether to hugs or kiss people on the cheek when i meet them or think they're gonna do 2 cheeks ..then i go all awkward so i usually just stand there and say hi :o ...

    glam in our house we dont go through much chocolate sometimes it goes off before we get to it unless its thorntons or ferro :D x
    :)Still searching .....:)

    Must remember one kiss, one kiss, one kiss! :cool:

    I do feel like a choocie monster - the problem is the 2 Caramel Eggs that came with it are callimg me now......................... must resist! At least I walked a good 3 miles today and I walked quite fast so I know I will burn it off!

    Debating whether to go for a quick walk tomorrow before I go to the TC or should i just take J to baby clinic? :think:
    If I wait around at home I'll be bored!

    I'm gonna get him up early so I can give him a bottle in the car when I get there at 10.30am, lunch at 12.30pm then a bottle around 2pm then he can nap in the car on the way home.
